Patek PCCs are special and absolute mechanical marvels, but the 5170p brings together the creativity and mechanical genius of Patek in a more simple manner. It has everything I want in a dress watch from Patek. A beautiful in-house movement visible through the clear case back. The most stunning blue-to-black dial. The understated yet elegant baguette diamond markers. A simple but thoughtful and perfectly-sized case. And, it’s in platinum. No days, months or years. No moon phase. Just wind it, set it, and go. Winding it daily brings a sense of connectedness with the watch. It’s necessary and enjoyable. It is my favorite Patek.

tough to argue with this
